Right, I think KC might go WR and it might be my guy Ginn Jr. Also heard that L. Johnson is on the trading block. But I think that is more Peterson sending LJ and message. This shit is starting to get lovely
as per theboyblog.com
It’s been a quiet week so far, but I expect plenty of trades on draft day.
The uncertainty about this year’s pool produces a logjam. We know who the top six and the top ten players are likely to be, but nobody knows the order in which they’ll be taken.
The Raiders could go in two different directions. The Lions could go in about a dozen different directions, but they can’t do a thing until they know who the Raiders take. Same for Cleveland, Tampa Bay and every team through Houston at ten; every one of them could move up or down, depending on who’s where.
The Texans want to move down and may deal with Denver, who allegedly wants to leapfrog San Francisco and get LB Patrick Willis. This deal seems plausible, since the Broncos’ MLB Al Wilson was shopped but failed to move because he flunked team physicals. (He has a bad neck.)
The same story says Jacksonville has soured on Reggie Nelson and prefers Texas S Michael Griffin. I’ll believe it when I see it but I’d love a shot at Nelson.
In the meantime, some impressive veterans are being shopped:
– The Chiefs have offered Larry Johnson to the usual running-back poor suspects like Buffalo and Green Bay. Kansas City does not want to pay Johnson a LaDainian Tomlinson-like deal next year. Given that he’ll be 28 and have a lot of wear and tear on his treads, I can understand.
The problem is that no team obtaining him will likely want to pay that type of money either.
– The Lance Briggs rumor mill continues to churn. The Bears claim only one team has inquired about him but I saw a TV pundit last night say that six teams were eyeing the Pro Bowl linebacker. Tampa Bay is mentioned as a suitor and they would make sense, since they play the same Tampa-2 scheme the Bears employ.
– The Rams may land Carolina DT Kris Jenkins.
